Liquid Color
LCS IV
The LCS IV is a highly precise color instrument which
spectrally measures all color shades of optically clear,
transparent liquids using the dual beam principle.
Besides the conventional visual color numbers
(Gardner, Iodine, Hazen etc.), the LCS IV can also
measure opponent color systems such as CIELAB,
CIELCH and Hunter Lab under the conditions of
illuminant A, C, D65 and 2°/10° Standard Observer.
Stand alone unit with built in 7” touch-screen
display allows use without the need of a PC
All important color scales and indices included
Automatic cuvette detection – avoids faulty data
measurement
Designed for the use of disposable plastic cuvettes,
high precision glass cuvettes or 11 mm tubes
Easy to exchange rectangular cell compartment
High measurement reliability is guaranteed by
comprehensive verification kits
Use profile memory with password protection for
individual configurations – including GLP
documentation
Open sample compartment for ease of operation
Front USB interface for PC or printer connection
Easy data transfer into existing networks through
integrated Ethernet (LAN) interface
